Chapter 492
Meanwhile, Edward and Rose were upstairs.
Edward carefully placed Rose on the bed and clenched his fists excitedly. Then, he squatted in front of Rose. He held her hands tightly.
He said affectionately and gratefully, “Rose, thank you.”
Rose could not bear to see Edward like this. Her heart ached. She wanted Edward to be happy. She pulled his hand up and let him sit on the bed. Then, she got up and sat on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and Edward carefully held her waist.
“Are you happy?” asked Rose him.”
Edward nodded. How could he not be happy? Now, he was dumbfounded. The surprise came too suddenly. He originally thought he would not have a baby after such a long time. In the end, Rose used such a method to surprise him.
He had to cherish such a nice girl.
An affirmative answer, plus a nod, like a child. “Happy.”
Rose felt the strength in her waist protecting her. She relaxed and boldly let go of his neck. She pulled Edward’s face with both hands and smiled. “Smile if you’re happy. You’re very nervous. I thought you didn’t like me being pregnant.”
After saying that, Rose pouted in disappointment.
Edward panicked and thought that Rose was angry. How could he not like having a baby? “Rose, that’s not it. I’m thrilled. I’m delighted. It’s just that I’m too excited. I’m so excited that I don’t know what to say.” All that was left was gratitude.
Looking at Edward’s nervous and silly expression, Rose could not bear to tease him. She pinched his cheeks with both hands. “Silly, I’m your wife. Why do you keep thanking me? Are you silly? Why are you so cute? Cute Edward.”
Rose pinched his cheeks hard. Edward let her do whatever she wanted and did not stop her at all. He stared at Rose’s innocent smile, and he smiled.
After playing for a while, Rose joked, “Hubby, do you think I am conceived with a girl or a boy?”
Edward’s EQ was getting higher and higher. “Whether it’s a boy or a girl, I like it.” As long as it was Rose’s baby.
“You’re getting better at talking. You are a smart student. Not bad, not bad. Let’s go downstairs and have dinner. I’m a little hungry.”
“Okay.”
It was quiet upstairs, but it was extremely lively downstairs. Juana had been wandering around the living room, making calls and reporting the good news to Joy.
Sherri had already walked around the living room for so long that he was about to vomit. He exhaled and said, “Mom, can you stop for a while? If you know that my sister-in-law is pregnant, those who don’t know might think that you’re pregnant.”
Sherri had quipped without thinking twice. She was hit by a packet of tissues from Juana, who was on the phone. Then, she looked at Hackett.
How would Hackett dare to interfere? He could only comfort her. “Sherri, just eat more and talk less.”
Sherri crossed her legs and sat on the sofa in a good mood. Hackett handed her a piece of pineapple. It was extremely sweet. “I think our mother will be busy. Poor father. He has to endure her nagging.”
“That’s right. I’m so happy. Rose, this child is too obedient. I’m still so excited. Fortunately, I don’t have high blood pressure or heart disease. Otherwise, you would have to come to the hospital to see me.”
“Okay, okay. Goodbye. I’ll go to the kitchen to take a look.” With a smile, Juana hung up the call and saw her Edward holding hands with Rose coming down the stairs. She couldn’t stop herself to remind him. “Edward, hold on to your wife.”
Edward said, “Got it, Mom.”
Downstairs, Rose sat beside Sherri. Hackett teased with a smile, “Wild… Rose, you’re now a treasure in this family. Come, eat a piece of pineapple to nourish yourself.”
Rose was at a loss for words. Actually, there was no need to do this. She gave Hackett another deathly glare.
During dinner, Juana and Edward took special care of Rose, Richard worked overtime at the company at night because Juana couldn’t wait to tell Richard about her daughter-in-law’s pregnancy. She made Richard work harder recently because his Edward had to accompany Rose.
This was indeed a joyous occasion for the Landor family. Not long after they registered their marriage, they had a child. The entire family treated Rose as a treasure.
After dinner, Edward sensibly suggested, “Mom, I’ll go to the Roberts family with Rose tonight.”
Logically speaking, she should be staying with the Landor family today, but Juana did not stop her. Rose’s pregnancy was such a big matter, so she should indeed go home and tell her parents.
Juana smiled and said, “Alright, Rose. In the future, you don’t have to live according to the plan. You can stay wherever you want. I just want you to be happy.”
Rose could feel that everyone was treating her well. “Mom, let’s do it the same way as before. We’ll tell you in advance if there’s a special situation.”
Juana said, “Alright, make the arrangements yourself. Drive slowly on the road, Edward. Don’t brake suddenly.”
On the sofa, Hackett and Sherri were quietly chatting. “If this continues, my brother will almost become a cripple. He won’t even know how to drive.”
